Chapter 691, Insect Saint Bio-Titan, Battle of Rheaduches (VI)
Le Luwa understood that Gu Hang had sent down such a force, of course, it was not as simple as just defending the base.
It could not even simply expand the base.
Although this was an achievement, it would obviously be disappointing.
Le Luwa himself would not look down on this achievement.
The target he chose was a Zerg nest about 80 kilometers away from the base.
Human defense, of course, was never a deadlock. It was true that many trenches were dug and some bunkers were quickly built on the border of the base, but some passages were also left. The Zerg wanted to rush in from the flat area of the passage, which was a death wish. The passages left were the key areas to be taken care of, and they required a cross-fire coverage. After the Zerg tried several times and sacrificed many in vain, they continued to attack the fire points one by one.
On the contrary, the human side often used these passages to attack outward.
The armored forces attacked to destroy the Zerg's biological artillery positions; the elite forces took advantage of the intervals between wars to go out to perform special operations. There are all kinds of missions, from destruction to beheading high-value targets, to intelligence reconnaissance.
Intelligence reconnaissance is especially common.
There are reconnaissance spearhead companies of various units, stormtroopers, space marines... all of which will perform various intelligence collection tasks of varying values.
Among them, there is this place that was selected as the target by Leroy this time.
It is not only an anti-aircraft insect nest, but also a huge hatching nest. It should not have been so large in the past, but when the human base was built, it seemed to be selected by the queen of insects or some other high-level node creatures as one of the core bases of the insect swarm.
The functions of hatching and arsenal have been greatly strengthened. Many pipelines for transporting biomass are connected in it, and it is not enough. Giant land transport creatures hatched by many soldier insects and specializations have arrived at this nest carrying huge amounts of biomass.
At the same time, the large number of hatched Zerg creatures in this nest has become an important factor in attacking human positions and causing military pressure.
According to the opinions of the alien treatment experts of the Anti-foreign Order, the size of the nest can hatch about 100,000 to 200,000 a day, which puts a lot of pressure on the human base.
Pulling it out not only destroyed a large anti-aircraft nest, but also cut off the enemy's means of directly and quickly replenishing troops on the front line. Moreover, the large amount of biomass remaining in it can be regarded as a potential enemy. It is definitely much easier to destroy it while it is still biomass than to destroy it after it is hatched into insects.
In fact, these biomass may have been transported here after being digested by the Zerg army, worker insects and other creatures in the hinterland of the Zerg control area.
The Zerg will do this kind of thing. As long as the whole process of digestion-transportation-rehatching is shorter and less consuming than the Zerg army's own movement, they will arrange it this way.
Obviously, transporting troops from the other side of the world to this place in the mode of rehatching is much more economical than letting those Zerg troops run for a long time.
But it also gives humans room for breakthroughs.
At dawn, the human army set out.
Dozens of Lion King tanks led the way, followed by more than ten times the number of Lion tanks, and more armored vehicles carrying infantry set off.
The human artillery in the position covered the armored forces' path with tens of thousands of shells in a short period of time.
The swarm also responded immediately.
They also noticed the previous large-scale successful airborne situation, and were able to analyze that humans were likely to launch an offensive operation later. However, they still failed to stop it.
The proud numerical advantage was not brought into play. Under the fierce artillery bombardment, no swarm could show their heads. They followed the requirements of the superior node creatures and lurked in tunnels, caves and other places. At the very least, they had to lie half-lying on the ground to avoid fire bombardment.
They were not afraid of death, but when the node creatures were alive, they could analyze what was a necessary sacrifice and what was a waste of death.
It was not until the bombing was over that the remaining swarms emerged and tried to stop the advance of the armored forces.
But they were ruthlessly crushed by the steel torrent.
They could only make way for the road and then try to attack the armored convoy from the side.
But it was still useless. After sacrificing a large number of units, the final outcome was still a failure.
It took the human armored forces about a day to break through the 80-kilometer road. During this period, countless battles of varying sizes occurred, but almost all ended with human victory.
At night, they basically stopped advancing, but a considerable number of infantry were still working. Driving engineering machinery, they quickly dug some trenches, and the escorted self-propelled artillery, including armored guns and simpler truck guns, entered the position.
At night, the Zerg, which suffered heavy losses, still launched several attacks, causing some damage. Especially when a group of snake worms drilled into the ground and cooperated with a group of assassin worms to raid in, it was really dangerous.
However, Leroy personally led the team, and hundreds of Black Crusaders eliminated this group of invading Zerg elite units. The executioner tyrant, which was a node creature, was also eliminated by Leroy himself.
On the morning of the second day, after the human army was ready to attack, they launched a fierce attack on the insect lair.
The Titan army, which had been gathering strength, also set out.
This battle was the most exaggerated battle in the battle on the surface of Rhea Duchess.
For the whole day, the Zerg, feeling threatened, was also mobilizing its troops fiercely; the hatchery itself also tried its best to create a large army, resisting layer by layer in the insect cave, which repeatedly hindered the offensive pace of the human army.
Until the afternoon, they had not yet entered and lost two Warhound Titans.
In the evening, a large Zerg army came to support them and finally arrived.
Among them, the most eye-catching were several Zerg creatures that were even larger than the Warlord Titans at a glance!
Zerg Saint Biological Titans!
They have four long legs to support their huge bodies; their mouthparts extend into a long gun barrel, and a shot from a distance can smash the Lion King tank; the varying number of appendages extending from the body are the most terrifying melee weapons.
It's not just the Zerg Saint Titans that came. There are also some that are smaller than the Zerg Saints, but have also reached a level similar to the Warhound level. Two thick recurved legs supported the body, and the forelimbs were two huge biological symbiotic cannons. The mouthparts were so large that they could almost bite into the upper body of the Titan.
The Zerg biological Titan appeared.
